Update : Hilke was kind enough to process the picture for me. Here is what she was able to obtain:


THANKS, Hilke!


Last week was relatively sunny and warm, and I took this picture of a song sparrow. Easy shot, as the sparrow was basically posing in the morning sun. That's SOO much easier with good sun light!!!!
